The Plenary Session of the City Council of the Villa de La Matanza de Acentejo, in an ordinary session held on July 31, 2026, definitively approved the Minor Modification of the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) of La Matanza de Acentejo. The agreement, adopted to revise the delimitation of the rustic land category for the strip located between the Costa de Acentejo Protected Landscape and the TF-5 highway, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, number 107, dated September 7, 2026, under reference 1829197.

The plenary decision is formalized in two agreements: the first definitively approves the urban modification, and the second orders its publication in the Official Gazette of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands and in the Official Gazette of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The announcement, dated in the Historic Villa of La Matanza de Acentejo on September 2, 2026, appears electronically signed by the mayor-president, Ignacio Rodríguez Jorge.

Scope of the urban modification

The Minor Modification of the PGOU directly affects the urban planning and land-use regime of the municipality by revising the delimitation of the rustic land category in the strip between the Costa de Acentejo Protected Landscape and the TF-5 highway. This is a planning adjustment that specifies the classification and categorization of land in an area of special landscape and environmental value in northern Tenerife.

The agreement is part of the procedure for the definitive approval of minor planning modifications, which allows the municipality to correct or specify determinations of the PGOU without the need to process a general revision of the instrument.

The announcement refers to the consultation of the agreement documentation via the BOP publication link for the minor planning modification. Interested parties may access the full content of the file to learn the technical details of the revised delimitation.
